Effective with the December 2017 administrations, MSU is eliminating the requirement for candidates to earn a minimum of 12 out of 25 points on all of the CELP subsections in order to pass the exam. This simplified scoring system has been in place for CELC for several administrations and will now apply to both exams.

Henceforth, in the interest of transparency, every candidate who receives a total score of 60 or more points will earn a certificate, and the candidate’s total score and subsection scores will be reported on the certificate.
